History
Established in 1984.
Figgins Trees & Turf started out as a planting and lawn installation company run out of a garage and a few pickup trucks. The majority of business was done in Oswego and in a few surrounding communities and had been done there for twenty years prior on a part-time basis. When first opened in 1984 by current owner Bill Figgins, the company only had a few full-time workers and a few part-time workers. In 1986, Carl Figgins graduated from college and joined the company. His major duties included landscape designs and managing crews. Eventually in 1992, Figgins Trees & Turf moved into their current location in the Stonehill Industrial Park and have grown from there. Since that time, the company has expanded its services to include hardscaping, water features, landscape maintenance and a variety of other landscaping services. In 2013, we added our third generation to the business when Carl's son, Steve, entered the company after graduating from college.

Carl attended Oswego High School and went on to attend Joliet Junior College before transfering to the Univeristy of Illinois where he earned his degree in Horticulture. He is one of the founding members of Figgins Trees & Turf, Inc., and has been doing landscaping in the Oswegoland area since the early 1980's. Carl is the person that most homeowners deal with and will meet with when looking to get work done at their home. He combines his education in horticulture and his 30+ years of experience to help customers with their landscape needs both small and large. To stay on top of industry standards, Carl attends yearly seminars and conventions to provide the most up to date information to customers and clients. He returned to Joliet Junior College to teach landscape design, landscape estimating and landscape construction classes on a part-time basis during the 1990's and early 2000's. Carl enjoys working outdoors and getting the chance to build new relationships with new customers.
